THE COCAINE HABIT.
The Worst Slavery Known--New Rev
Citations of Power.
Cincinnati Timss.Star.

But useful as it is, it is also dan
gerous, especially when its use is per-
verted from the deadening Of pain for
surgical operations to the stimulation
and destruction Of the human body.
Its first effects are soothing and cap
tivating, but the thralldom is the most
horrible slavery known to humanity.
j. L. Stephens, M. D., of Lebanon,
O., was interviewed by our reporter
yesterday at the Grand Hotel, and
during the conversation the doctor
said: "The cocaine habit is thou
sand times worse than the morphine
and opium habits, and you would be
astonished," he said, EFF you knew
how frightfully the habit is increas-
ing
"What are its effects?"
"Itis the worst constitution wrecker
ever known. 1t ruins the liver aud
kidneys in halfa year, and when this
work is done the strongest constitu-
ton soon succumbs." .5s.=ZzsFszzez7-=--
"Do you know of DIR. Underhilps
case here in Cincinnati ?" ,.
"That leading physician who be-
came victim of the cocaine hab-
it? Yes. His case was a very sad
one, butt. the habit can be cured.
l have rescued many a man from a
worse condition"
"What, worse than DR.. Under
hill's!" -I -
"Tndeed, sir, far so. Justin NJ.
Hall, A. M, NJ. D., president of
the State Board of Health of Iowa,
and famed practitioner, and Alex
ander Neil, NJ. D.. professor of sur
gerry in the Columbus Medical Col
lege, and president of the Academy
of Medicine, a man widely known,
Rev. W. P. Clancy, of indianapolis,
Ind, from personal experience in
opium eating, ETC., can tell you of the
kind iof success our form OF treat
ment wins, and so can H. G. Wilson,
formerly OF. Cincinnati, who is now
associated with me-"
"Would you mind letting our read
ers into the secret of your methods ?"
"Well, young man, you surely
have a good bit Of assurance to ask
a man to give his business away to
; the public; but I won't wholly dis
appoint you. I have treated over
10000 patients. In common with
many eminent physicians, for years
made a close study of the effects of
the habits on the system and the
organs which they most severely
attack. DIR. Hall, DR.. Neil and
Mr.. Wilson, whom I have men
toned, and hundreds of others
equally as expert, made many SIM
liar experiments on their own be-
half. We each found that these drugs
worked most destructiyely in the
kidneys and liver; in fact, finally
destroyed them. It was then appar-
ent that no cure could be effected
until those organs could be restored
to health. We recently exhausted
the entire range of medical science,
experimenting with all known rem
edies for these organs, and as the
result of these close investigations we
all substantially agreed, through fol-
lowing different lines of inquiry, that
the most reliable scientific prepare
ton was Warmers safe cure. This
was the second point in the discov-
cry. The third was our own pri-
vate form of treatment, which, OF
course, we do not divulge to the pub
lie. Every case that we have treated
first with Warmers safe cure, then
with our own private treatment, and
followed up again with Warmers safe
cure for few weeks, has been sue
cessful. These habits can't be cured
without using it, because the habit
is nourished and sustained in the
liver and kidneys. The habit can
be kept up in moderation, however,
if free use be also made, at the same
time, of that great remedy"
eyes, it is a world famed and
justly celebrated specific. Like many
other physicians, l used to deride the
claims made for it, but l know now
for fact that it is the worlds great,
est blessing, having sovereign power
over hitherto incurable diseases of
the kidneys and liver, and when I
have said that, young man, / have
said nearly everything, for most dis
eases originate in, or are aggravated
by, depraved condition of the kid
neys."
"People do not realize this, be-
cause, singular as it may seem, the
kidneys may be in very advanced
stage of decomposition, and yet,
owing to the fact.that there are but
a fewenerves of sensation in them,
the subject will not experience much
pain therein. On this account thou
sands of people die every year of
kidney disease unknowingly. They
have so-calIed disorders of the head,
of the heart and lungs and stomach,
and treat them in vain, flor the real
cause of their misery is deranged
kidneys, and if they were restored
to health the other disorders would
soon disappear"
DR.. Stphens's experience, that can
be confirmed by many thousands
whom he has treated, adds only more
emphasis to the experience of many
hundreds of thousands all over the
world, that the remedy he refers to
IS without any doubt the most bene-
icent discovery ever givento human
ty. "a
